    -Morales and hearing him take steroids for the Garcia fight (although it was for losing weight so it's not the worst thing in the world)
    -Maidana retiring too soon
    -Pac weighing too heavy for the May fight and for stopping halfway with his flurry of punches
    -Vargas thinking the outcome would be different if he fought Bradley again
    -Oscar for running again Trinidad
    -Roman Gonzalez for not giving Estrada a rematch

    Might be more but it's enough for now

    Robinson being a domestic abuser. God I hate that. Arguably the best fighter of all time, and his legacy has that darkness in it?

    My favorite boxer is Larry Holmes. His reign after the Cobb fight was a dissapointment. Didn't fight top contedners, lot less Top 10 defences and desperately trying to get that 50-0. I'm kinda glad Spinks got the nod in the first fight. Still Holmes managed to beat Whiterspoon, Bonecrusher and The Truth druing that period tho.

    "The one that I mixed" was highly suspect.

    Shane Mosley showing up on his ex wife’s reality show, hanging out with her and her then-boyfriend, even saying something like “go get that bro” to him.

    Beyond that, pretty much every fight he had after Pacquiao.

    GGG and Carl Froch (two of my favourite fighters) for not fighting each other. Could have been a cracker.

    Wlad not finishing AJ when he had the chance. He should have won that fight and retired on a high.

    Refusing? He couldn't do it. I love Pac but it's just how it is.

    Maidana retiring early is a good shout. There were a lot of good fights out there for him.

    I disagree about Pac though, Pac performed admirably until he stopped and even beat Thurman. Although Pac declined a lot, he never had a terrible performance in his twilight.
